Govt earmarks Rp 17 trillion for integrated livestock ecosystem
The Agriculture Ministry has earmarked around Rp 17 trillion to develop an integrated livestock industry across Indonesia, with five initial sites targeted for completion next year as the government seeks to strengthen domestic supplies of chicken, eggs and milk.
The Indonesian government has allocated approximately Rp 17 trillion to establish an integrated livestock ecosystem, aiming to bolster domestic supply chains for chicken, eggs, and milk. Agriculture Minister Andi Amran Sulaiman announced that five key sites, including feed mills, day-old chick production, and dairy cattle facilities, will be operational by the following year.
These sites are located in Lampung, East Java, South Sulawesi, West Nusa Tenggara, and Gorontalo. President Prabowo Subianto's directive to enhance food security has spurred this initiative, linking various stages of the production process. The government has already allocated Rp 2.2 trillion for the five sites, with the remaining funds bringing the total budget to around Rp 17 trillion.
The ministry has finalized administrative and budgetary procedures for the five areas, with completion projected for 2027.
